Unfortunately, it was too late. |
We have a large number of survivors here. |
We just felt the challenge mechanism was a better and more efficient way to go and to preserve the integrity of the game. It's just a modest difference in philosophy. |
We think we've got a system that will work and we'll try to get it as polished as we can. |
We'll be looking at what weather information they had been given and then very carefully at the Doppler radar tapes and things of that nature from the area. We'll be looking at what the weather actually was and what the crew thought it was. |
We'll try to compare what has been observed (Monday) with these two time-lines to see what's possible and what's impossible based on that information. That's really the only thing we can do. |
